While here in the USA with work and progressing nicely, I am working hard on moving here permanently which isnt easy...nor cheap!
Prior to leaving i picked up a good condition set of Tur-bines and had them media blasted, then high build primed. I then proceeded to choose a colour i liked and being inspired by 'Swervin_Mervin' i went for a ferrari/alfa Grigio Titanio Metallic. This gives a great grey/silver appreance without looking blue or too shiny.
They were fully prepped and given 4 coats of paint inside and out then 4 coats of laquer, i decided to go with the cut style polished rim and worked hard to give it a professional appreance. this is obviously hard without a lathe! but it does look good. Imperfections can be seen close up but anything 1m+ looks great, which is the look i was going for (slag tastic! haha)
They are all straight and true, no nasty chunks missing, the only negative is that they dont have centre caps or locks etc.. but i didnt want to use them anyway.

I am simply looking to recoup my money i outlayed in them, they are all set and ready for new tyres and will look good on a willy, 16v etc.. or other cars which seem to be popular on ebay at the mo!?
i know they arent to everyone's tastes, so please keep the comments to yourself as i could do with these selling fairly soon. please pm me with questions.
Price - offers in the region of 150GBP as they are minty mint.
